Al Pacino, an Oscar-winning actor, prioritizes his role as a father. In a September 2014 interview with The New Yorker, the star of Scent of a Woman revealed his desire to be actively involved in his children's lives, a departure from his own father's approach.
In an interview with the outlet, Pacino shared that having children has brought positive changes in his life. He stated that he consciously made an effort to avoid becoming like his own father, and that being responsible for his children has been a significant factor in this. Pacino also expressed how upsetting it is for him and his children when he is not present in their lives. However, being a father has given him a sense of purpose and has helped him focus on something other than himself. Pacino's daughter, Julie Marie, was born in 1989 to Jan Tarrant, his acting coach. Julie has followed in her father's footsteps and has pursued a career in the film industry. Despite having a famous father, Julie credits her mother for keeping her grounded.
Growing up, Julie was constantly reminded by her mother to maintain perspective and never develop a sense of entitlement based on her father's success. In 2001, Al Pacino expanded Julie's family by welcoming twins with actress Beverly D'Angelo, whom he was in a relationship with until 2003. The twins were named Anton James and Olivia Rose.
D’Angelo shared the story of her romance with Pacino in a May 2023 Instagram video. According to her, they first met on a flight from Los Angeles to New York, with Pacino inviting her to sit beside him. From there, their connection blossomed and in 1997, Pacino expressed his desire for her to be the mother of his children. Despite having avoided that role previously, D’Angelo was smitten and fully committed to their relationship.
D'Angelo acknowledged that their relationship became complicated, but emphasized that their love for their children served as the foundation for resolving conflicts and building a new dynamic as coparents. Despite having raised three children to adulthood, Pacino announced in May 2023 that he is expecting his fourth child with girlfriend Noor Alfallah. The couple was first linked in April 2022 after being seen leaving Felix Restaurant together in Venice, California. Just a month after the pregnancy reveal, Pacino's representative confirmed that the couple had welcomed a baby boy named Roman Pacino.

Al Pacino, an Oscar-winning actor, is a devoted father who takes his role seriously. In a candid interview with The New Yorker in September 2014, Pacino revealed that he wants to be actively involved in his children's lives, a stark contrast to his own father's absence.
According to Pacino, having children has been a positive influence in his life. He was determined to break the cycle of being like his father and feels responsible for being an active part of his children's lives. Being there for his children gives him a sense of purpose and takes him out of his own worries. Pacino's daughter, Julie Marie, has also pursued a career in the film industry, but her mother played a crucial role in keeping her grounded despite her father's fame.
"My perspective was always grounded, thanks to my mother. She kept me humble and taught me not to feel entitled or deserving of anything just because of my father's success," she shared with the media during an interview.
In 2001, Julie's family grew when her father had twins, a son named Anton James and a daughter named Olivia Rose, with his then-girlfriend, actress Beverly D'Angelo. The two were in a relationship from 1997 to 2003.
According to an Instagram video posted by D'Angelo in May 2023, she revealed the story of how she and Pacino crossed paths. On a flight from Los Angeles to New York, Pacino asked her to sit next to him and by the end of the flight, sparks had flown. Reflecting on their relationship, D'Angelo shared that in 1997, Pacino had expressed his desire for her to be the mother of his children. Despite her initial reservations about taking on such a role, her love for him was unwavering and she fully committed herself to their relationship.
D'Angelo acknowledged that their relationship had become complicated, but emphasized that their love for their children ultimately allowed them to work through their conflicts and establish a new co-parenting dynamic. Despite having already raised three children to adulthood, Pacino and his girlfriend Noor Alfallah announced their pregnancy in May 2023. The couple had been linked since April 2022, when they were seen leaving Felix Restaurant in Venice, California. Shortly after their pregnancy announcement, Pacino's representative confirmed that they had welcomed a baby boy named Roman Pacino.
